1. Inclusive Education
Drama, and by extension my classroom, is intended to be an expression for all. This
means that students should be able to partake in any activity or project. Depending on
ability and situation, differentiation will occur to make sure that every student has the
ability to succeed. In my orientation unit, I intend to promote confidence as a theme so
that students may begin releasing inhibitions and further their creative exploration of
their education in drama and hopefully their life.
My aim is to include different cultural perspectives through role play and student
sharing so that my students can understand the historical perspectives that informed
our current societies and circumstances. As well, the influences of theatre come from
across the globe and introduce students to many cultures just from becoming informed
on theatre history.

2. Quality Learning
As a teacher intern, I will be frequently touching base with my teacher mentor as well as
my university consultant. This will aid me gauge the quality of learning that is presented
by me to my students. My intention is to continue developing daily lesson plans as well
as observe other classes and classrooms as my term with the school progresses. This will
help me stay focused on how to improve the quality of learning in my classroom.

3. Culture of Wellness
I intend to start the year with a mental health first aid training professional
development session. This will help me further my ability to nurture a culture of
wellness in and outside my classes.

4. Universal Leadership
Theatre enables a growth of person. Through the drama classes I teach, students will
develop leadership skills through play, roleplay, and the group process. Issues that arise
within this process will further the conversation on what leadership is and how students
can seek to be leaders within the class as well as in their school and community.
